Have a zoom-coffee or hang out in person. Perhaps run and errand together or help either other set up your studio space. For informal activities as your aim is to open up with each other and develop a rapport and empathetic understanding.

DETAILS BY STEPS:
STEP 01: travelled to Fabricland to select a few swatches that fit Jennifer’s style. I observed her utilisation of flowery elements from scrolling through her Instagram. To develop a swatch theme, I wanted to collect a variety of flower patterns and colour combinations.
STEP 02: the sketching process: Before beginning to create the swatches, I had to plan out how I wanted them to look, whether it was through colour or patterning.
STEP 03: the sketching process: Before beginning to create the swatches, I had to plan out how I wanted them to look, whether it was through colour or patterning.
STEP 04: Finalizing all 9 swatches and ensuring sure each swatch card includes the necessary information.
STEP 5: I added clip pins so Jennifer could hang them from the wall in her studio or use them as a decoration.
